About the Organisation
Our client is an iconic Victorian not-for-profit organisation with over 140 years of service to the community. With around 750 staff across five distinct business streams, this is an organisation where your work genuinely matters and the mission is felt at every level.

About the Role
This is a hands-on Senior Payroll Officer position sitting at the heart of a complex and fast-moving payroll function. You'll be joining at a pivotal time — Dayforce has recently gone live and there is meaningful remediation and stabilisation work underway.
You'll be responsible for end-to-end fortnightly payroll across multiple business streams, working within a highly complex EBA and award environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• End-to-end fortnightly payroll processing for approximately 750 employees across five business streams
• Maintaining employee records including new starters, terminations, and changes to pay and entitlements
• Interpreting and applying multiple EBAs and modern awards including SCHADS and non-emergency patient transport
• Calculating and processing leave, overtime, allowances and termination payments accurately and on time
• Reconciling payroll each cycle and resolving discrepancies before sign-off
• Supporting the ongoing stabilisation of Dayforce, including data cleanup and reconciliation of historical errors

What We're Looking For

• Experience with Dayforce — this is essential
• Solid EBA and modern award interpretation skills — the more complex, the better
• A detail-oriented, calm-under-pressure approach
• Someone who is comfortable working through ambiguity and legacy issues without losing their stride
• A genuine interest in working for a not-for-profit organisation

Why This Role?

• NFP salary packaging — meaningfully increases your take-home pay
• Be part of a genuine transformation of the payroll function at an iconic Victorian organisation
• Supportive leadership and a team that is invested in getting payroll right for the long term
• Hybrid work 2-3 days office/home
